Is it normal that my baby doesn't roll over yet?

Most likely, yes. Some babies can kick themselves from front to back as early as 3 months, but most need the strong neck and arm muscles they'll have at about 6 months to flip from back to front.

If your child looks like he wants to roll over but can't quite do it, you can encourage his developing skill through play. Wiggle a toy next to the side he customarily rolls to in case he's interested enough to try again. Applaud his efforts and smile — he may need your reassurance since new actions can be alarming.

If your baby hasn't figured out how to flip one way or the other by the time he's about 5 months old and isn't showing any interest in getting around by any other means (such as crawling or shuffling on his bottom), bring it up the next time you talk to his doctor.
